Thanks for following me all these years, but it’s time for a change. I’ll be going for a blue sky change, see you there #sokkahtwitter

The A-League is setting digital viewing records. Viewing on 10 Play of the Liberty A-League Women is up 169% on the 2021/22 season average to record highs, and the Isuzu UTE A-League Men is up 23% on the 2021/22 season average. The A-League has reached 5.4 million Australians on Network 10 and 10 Play in 2023. paramountanz.com.au/news-and-insig…

Interesting comments by outgoing FA chair Chris Nikou on Radio Fremantle this morning regarding the current role of member federations and the debate about opting for a more centralised governance model -

@SimeW_Croft I’m hopeful but I just can’t see them getting anything out of this pitch. Trying to play, quick, one touch & good football is not possible on this surface. Grit & determination can only take you so far

The response from this WSW team decides how far they go this season - I have a good feeling that WSW get at least a point tonight despite being down 2-0 #BRIvWSW

What a turnout from Western Sydney, even though the stadium is 1/4th full the atmosphere will be enjoyed for a Friday Night Match. #BRIvWSW

@Wandererstragic You cursed us!! Put your bucket hat back on!

Lachie Brook is already giving Trewin a severe examination. He scores for sure tonight. #BRIvWSW

@Bay49Wanderers You’d hope that with 5 days that things would have improved but the way the players were slipping on Sunday doesn’t bode well. The warmups will be the litmus test but when will that be? 2040 new KO time but players need to warm up again

@Prydzopolis If we had to hear how bad the pitch was for 4 days after the last game… How can we play on it after this down pour 💦

Doubt this game will be played lbh 🏌️‍♂️ #BRIVWSW 😟

@spannaforce Coverage would have started then, but the thunderstorm & now water pooling on the pitch will push the start time back to 2040 AEDT

Is it 7:15 qld time?

8:35pm our time. #WSW #BRIvWSW

Did Danny Townsend get a job with AFC??

Thread. @FundFooty and I have been working behind the scenes for quite some time. We want to see football funded fairly in Queensland (and Australia). We firmly believe that the first step really has to be a stadium that football can call its own.

a slightly in-depth read for your Friday morning, leading into the Sydney game. it's fair to say the Glory's season has had its ups and downs so far. one area where there could be some improvement, at least in my view, is the midfield. here's why... 📝link.medium.com/5zWr5Ae69Eb

This was in the PFA's annual report. Voted on by selected away team players. Hindmarsh had the best pitch quality and atmosphere rating, when only counting stadiums that are used on a full-time basis.
